Winnie The Pooh Hand Decorated Winnie The Pooh Hand Decorated

Based on the characters created by A.A. Milne and beautifully illustrated by E.H. Shepard, the designers of this ornamental set have recreated the wonderful world of Winnie the Pooh for chess lovers young and old. Translated into almost every known language, Winnie the Pooh and his friends have universal appeal.

The designers have represented the King by Winnie the Pooh himself and the queen by Kanga, the sweet caring mother of baby Roo. The owl, supposedly the wisest creature in 100 Acre Wood, is the bishop and Eeyore, the gloomy grey donkey, is the knight. Tigger the bouncy is the Rook and Piglet, Pooh's best friend, is the pawn.

This beautiful chess set appeals to all ages and comes complete with an illustrated board and a full set of rules.

Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit Hand Decorated Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit Hand Decorated

The story of Peter Rabbit first appeard in a picture letter Beatrix Potter wrote to Noel Moore, the young son of her former governess, in 1893.

Encouraged by her success in having some greetings cards published, Beatrix remembered the letter seven years later and expanded in into a little picture book with black and white illustrations. After being rejected several times, it was finally published by Frederick Warne in 1902.

The tale of Peter Rabbit's pacy story, engaging hero and happy ending have made it a children's classic whose appeal is timeless.

Battle of Hastings Hand Decorated

Battle of Hastings Hand Decorated

These chess pieces represent the two opposing armies in the most famous battle fought on English soil. Harold, the English King leads his Saxon forces against the invading William, Duke of Normandy. The ensuing battle near Hastings on the south coast of England in 1066 altered the course of English history. The amazing detail created by our sculptors is richly displayed in this historic chess set.

This superb set has been a favourite since its introduction in regular brown and ivory finish. After many requests our artists have demonstrated their skills by hand decorating this set so that it now seems to reveal more of the authentic detail in each piece.

The set is based on the famous Battle of Hastings in which King Harold II of England opposed the invading Norman army led by William Duke of Normandy on October 14th 1066.

After the hard fought battle of Stamford Bridge in which he defeated and killed Harold Hardrada King of Norway who had invaded Northumbria, Harold and his Saxon Army marched from York to the south coast of England. At the small village of Battle, just inland from Hastings, Harold's tired army met the invading forces of William Duke of Normandy.

These chess pieces are authentic reproductions of the characters, clothing and equipment of the era.
